Hi all,

I've put a special word in some check-in comments in a lot of sources.

Easy question: how to find these sources files with this special comment ?

I use SourceSafe v6

Thanks.

Lilian.

Lilian,

If I understand what you are asking, simply highlight the file in question,
perform a Show History ... and view the details of the version you wish to
see. The comments are those entered when you checked that revision back into
SourceSafe.

Hope this helps.
Richard

I know how to find "manually" my comments but I want to search on all my
sources comments a special word. how to do that?

Hi Lilian,

For a GUI solution you may try:
http://www.codeproject.com/tools/VssReporter.asp

From the command line I would do something like that (untested):
set ssdir=<path to vss database>
ss history -r <vss item> | grep "\*\*\*\*\*\|<special word>"

This should show all items and therein between the comments with your
special word. But you need a win32 port of the grep utiliy.

Best regards,

Signature

George
